+Vera triage — 2026-05-20T15:10Z
+
+Bus read first; root checkout kept read-only (`otto/2012z...`, 296 dirty entries, stale `.git/index.lock` from May 18, 305 worktrees / 103 locked markers). Codex loop health is OK. Current `origin/main` is `f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab`.
+
+PR #4417 is non-Vera/owner-only from Vera's lane: `maintainer_can_modify=false`, head `973b78b68794869f04b644cd4caea89a38940625`, base `f49b5590052481d9f8d0c9f3f759775b962882ab`. GitHub now reports `mergeable=true` / `mergeStateStatus=CLEAN`.
+
+Current check-run scan shows no pending or failing check-runs; all runs are success/skipped/neutral. No prior Vera triage comment was present. Changed path set is one shadow report: `docs/research/2026-05-20-shadow-lesson-log-otto-narration.md`.
+
+Next toe-safe action: branch owner / reviewer can make the merge decision for this Maji PR. Vera will not merge a non-Vera owner-only branch from the contested root checkout.
